There is a disposition in the United States Senate Finance Committee, where the House bill is under consideration, to reduce the rate proposed to be levied on barley, not out of consideration for the Canadian producer, but at the demand of the American brewer, who threatens to increase the price of beer, which would render the party in power unpopular. A storm that swept over Nebraska on Tuesday night was particularly severe. Bradshaw, a town of 500 inhabitants, \‘us literally swept out of existence, the broken houses and their contents being scattered all over the prairie by the force of the tornado.

After serving one hundred and seventeen lllLyS of the two years’ sentence imposed upon him, the Duke of Orleans, whose recent appearance in Paris created such a sensation, was taken to the frontier on the night of the 3rd inst. and set at liberty. The action of President Carnot in granting his release was not due to any special effort on the part of the Dukes friends to secure his pardon. It is not clear either that the royal prisoner s particularly elated over what has taken place. Judging from the tone of his re- marks that have been made public he seems to consider imprisonment in France, his native land, no greater calamity than liberty abroad as an exile. In replying to his jailor who connnunicated the news of pardon he said: “ I know that no one may petition against a pardon. I can only bow to the decision you communicate to me, and thank you to ‘ all the consideration you have shown to me.” Also in a note sent to the “ com» rades of his class” he says: “My pardon restores me to my sorrows. Exile is only a change in the nature of my captivity.” The Duke persists in his declaration that his return to France vas prompted by a desire to serve his country according to the law which requires the sons of France on attain- ing their majority to serve three years in the army. This resolution he says remains unbroken and that nothing shall make him renounce the ardent hope of serving his country. 011 the other hand, there are those who attribute his appea mice to a desire to effect a well]; d’dal. They Suspect that the movement was planned by the royalists who have never submitted gracefully to the Re- publican regime. Be this as it may the incident serves to show the firm hold upon the masses of the present order. The Re- public in France has evidently come to stay. The chances are that the ill»advised and dis- appointed youth has played his part, and that now he will disappear from public View. The Duke of Orleans. IN GEN ‘5] . AL‘ Rose Culture. There is no flower more easily cultivated than the rose, and none which paws so well for time zunl lalior. Select a 51mm not shéu’l» ml by trees or buildings, for your rose gur- (len.

This will make the bed about twelve 1 or fifteen inches high. . . 1 Circular beds arecthe nicest for roses, and Show them of? to the best advantage. The outer row of bushes should be trimmed to be shorter than those in the middle of the bed. loses bloom better if they are well pruned. Monthly roses should not be planted with the perpetuuls, as the latter are the stronger growers and would soon crowd the others out. For general planting, the perpetuals are most satisfactory, as they need less pr0~ tection through the cold weather. Some of them hloom almost as freely as ten roses do. The best time for planting roses is during April. Set the young.)’ plants from eighteen inches to two feet apart, each way. During the summer they will need little care beyond weeding, watering, and pruning, but in the fall they claim attention. . u Before the fall rains, give the rose beds a good dressing of stable manure, or any compost. The ruins will carry the strength down to the roots, and what remains serves as mulching. In places where the winters are not severe that is all the protection the bushes will need. \thrc more covering is neeessmy, be careful not to put it on too soon. A little freezing is not injurious The covering,r should permit of a circulation of air through it, and should be nothing that will retain water; neither should any DIEL- terial he used which will ferment or heat. I prefer straw, forest leaves, and branches of the evergreen. Before covering them, cut out all tender wood, and cut back all the old wood to within six inches of the ground. That will send the sap down to give strength to the roots. _._ , . V 1 0' , ~ 0 Tea. roses may be frozen to the ground; but if the roots are not injured they will send up strong shoots in the spring, and bloom better than ever. Tea roses require more protection than the perpetuals, but may be left out all winter in many localities. \Vhere the winters are severe, the roses can he taken up and wintered in the cellar. Leave them out just as long as it is safe. \Vhen you take them up, eut hack the tops to within six Inches of the ground, and pack the roots in a box of nice. mellow soil well pressed down. Place the box 110er the cellar window, and water the plants ocea- sionally during the winter, but only when absolutely necessary to keep the roots from sln'iveling.

As Soon {LS the covering s remm'ed, cut away all (lead wood, even if the stalks must be cut clear to the ground. This is absolutely necessary to the well being of the plant.

At five years of age a. horse has forty teeth, of which Lwentyinur are grinders, far back in the jaw, with which we have little to do. But, be it remembered, horses invariuhly have tushes which mares very rarely do. Before the age of six is arrived M the tush is full grown, and has a slight groove on its internal surface (which gener- ally disappears with age, the tush itself h0- cmning more round zunl blunt), and at, six the kernel or mark is worn out of the mid- dle from teeth.

'l‘o hutch out young turkeys during the wet season is to lose them. Fruits ripening under glass must have a. comparatively dry air and plenty of ventila- tion, or they will lack colour and flavour. Turnips should be sown in small breadths for summer supply. Use manure abundant ly, and after sowing sprinkle over the bed a. little lime or soot. This usually prevents the eating off of the young plant by the fly, as it is only while in the seedâ€"leaf that tur- nips are in danger.

It is as easily grown as a turnip. About the latter end of April is the best time to sow the seed. It should be put in rows one foot apart, and in rather loose, not over-rich, soil, as inediunrsized roots are the most desirable. Two or three rows a few yards in length will give EL small supply f0 ‘ a considerable time. A New York farmer digs potatoes after this fashion : “lith the reversible plow run under the hills, turning them all one way, the tubers can mostly be thrown out ; then pick them up : take the cultivator and go over the piece lengthwise of the rows and then pick up again. Two or three repeti- tions of this, and there are but few left.

Attractions for the World’s Fair. The inability of the directors of the \Vor‘ld’s Fair to settle upon seine special attraction for their great exhibition, is in danger of exposing them to an experience similar to that of the atilicted housekeeper when the sewing-machine and organ agents of the community learn that her home is still unprovided with these desirable and useful articles of furniture. First was the suggestion of the veteran showman, 1’. T. Barnum, that they end 2avur to secure the mummified corpses of King Rameses H. the Pharaoh of the Exodus, and of hisdaughter, the savior of the infant Moses. Then fol- lowed the proposal of Eiffel, of tower fame, and Edison, the famous electrician, to build a tower twice as large and high as the Paris structure, and have it lighted with a milâ€" lion electric lights. And now a third conr petition appears in the person of an ,Eg 'pt ian, an Alexandrian, who writes to the directors that he is in a position to furnish them an interesting cxhihit. He has sent the officials a photog‘aph of a sarcophagus which he believes and claims is that of Cleopatra. It was recently discovered in Caesar’s camp near Alexandria. After pay- ing the Egyptian Government its dues, the writer says, he sold it to a friend for a speculation. When the sarcophagus was opened the contents were in ashes with the exception of the skeleton, which is still pre- served. His price is $60,000 free on board at Alexandria. For a great attraction the figure is not extravagant. It may he seri- ously questioned, however, whether the bones of the old lady have any magnetic power over the present generation. One can hardly be sure that this is the veritable frame of that historical personage. Queen Mary of England declared that Calais would he found cngraven on her heart at death, but it is not likely that “Cleopatra” is found inwrought into the skeleton in ques- tion. Besides, it may be presumed that the general public are not very well posted in the history of the illustrious lady, many per- sons knowing little more than that she had a wonderful needle that the world has much to say about. Therefore to arouse an inter- est in the ghastly exhibit the directors would be compelled to engage some silver- tongued orator to sound the praises of the ancient queen. All things considered they had better accept the proposition of the “wizard of the north.” Alfred T. I’errine said to be the inventor ’ of the gutling gun, died in Cincinnati in poor circumstances on Mondzw. The Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, assembled in New York on Tues- day protested against th 0 Chinese Restricv ion law as unjust, and contrary to the gen- ius of American institutions. The Economist anraisc recommends the Government to compromise the Newfound- land affair with England, lest, in the event of her not doing so, she will lose all by the annexation of the island to the States. 1 E Strum that imam“?
